I visited the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) yesterday
and thought I'd share the Pietenpol they have on display next to a row of early
Ford cars. If you ever get to Hood River Oregon, you don't want to miss this
one.......... 100,000 square feet of hangar almost 80 vintage planes (which
ALL fly) and as many vintage cars. One of the best collections of Golden Era
flying aeroplane in the world - no exaggeration...!
I' beeen before and yesterday their director of restoration took me around and
through their shop - WOW! (Current project is the prototype Stearman (yes the
VERY first one) They also have Curtis Jenny serial number one - yes it flies..........!)
THANK-YOU Tom......

I took the liberty of resizing the photo as it was much bigger than my screen.
I hope other folks enjoy the great photo in a little bit easier to see size.

Or you could do it like this (below)... but it is pointless to try Terry. When
I first came on the boards (or e-mail list as some oooold timers insist on calling
it... yes, I know, I can read the top of the page too... It clearly states
"Email List"), I offered a couple of suggestions on how to better display images
and such. You would have thought I had suggested making a modification
that wasn't specifically spelled out in the plans... another huge no-no. [Rolling
Eyes]
So, I may as well share with you what many consider to be rule #1 around here...
Don't disconcert the masses.
Some of these guys are VERY sensitive about their ancient way of doing things.
Kind of like the way that this text runs waaaay out to the right because many
insist on using the "Attach" feature rather than inserting a simple line of code.
I guess it has something to do with the way the emailers want it done.
I know that I'm in deep "you know what" just for writing this, but it is cold
and rainy here today, so I have nothing better to do. [Laughing]

Yeah, this cranky old-fart "electronic mail". I dunno....messages show up
just fine in my Gmail, no formatting issues. Never have to wait for
attachments load, unless I choose to click on them. If I'm not at the
computer I can just grab one of the mobile devices and punch up the email to
see what's been posted. No need to wait for a website to load, pinching and
zooming all over the place, website not displaying correctly, trying to find
little buttons to Reply, etc.
You kids and your "World Wide Web". Bah.... ;)

Mark,
Not to 'muck up' the "email list" here, how about emailing me separately and 'splain
to me the code to keep everything to the left. That way I can read my own
messages correctly.
And I will add your 'rule' to my list of rules for this forum. Just a new guy figurin'
out how to fit in!

Yeah, it shows up fine in my mail too, but the sequence is all f'd up and for those
that choose to web it, the formatting kind of sucks... otherwise it's good
stuff.
I know, I know, it's a great resource and I should just leave it alone... and I
will. Just trying to spare Terry from the wrath of John Recine and others coming
along and asking, "what does photo sizing have to do with building a Piet."
Kids? Funny.

Hey Terry, I'm just funnin around more than anything. Don't take anything here
too seriously. :D
I will start another post where we can all rag on each other over the pros and
cons of email vs. web. I'm afraid I've jacked Tom's thread on WAAAM, which looks
pretty cool by the way.

Yeah., sorry.... I published this post (and this reply) from my fancy new Droid
and I have not yet figured out how to resize images on this thing..........
I had been doing all the posts from a PC.
Now back to installing the master bathroom floor so I can then get back to the
Piet. The remodel has set that on hold for a couple weeks. I'll spare you all
oversize images of that (ha!)

| Subject: | Disconcerting the Masses - BBCode |
* * * * * NOT PIET RELATED * * * * *
Terry and others... as for the code used to provide cleaner formatting for Web
readers... there are a few simple Bulletin Board codes (or BBCodes) that you might
find handy. Hows that for old Ryan? Been hitting the BBS since the early
80s using my tricked out Tandy-1000 and my 300 baud modem. LOL!
By simply starting and ending strings with certain commands, called tags, you can
present items in line with text rather than those big space hogging frames.
However, none of them will correct poor formatting (i.e. huge images or incorrect
paths).
For example, if you wanted to insert an image you would type...
[img]insert path here[/img]
Rather that the text "insert path here', you would insert an actual path... such as http://www.eaa.org/homebuilders/images/Pietenpol%20Air%20Camper-1.jpg
Like this!
The path should reference an image that is available on the web... if the file
is stored locally you will need to upload it to flicker, photo bucket or some
other web based storage and reference that path, or just use the attach feature
if you don't mind one of those big frames. Sound difficult? It's not.
There are others, like [url], which will let you insert a web path, but it's not
generally necessary... just type a web path and it will be recognized and a
hyper link created.
The one I've found most useful is [IMG], but there are others here that you can review here http://www.bbcode.org/reference.php. Not all BB tags work in all forums. Such as the [youtube] or [gvideo] tags... I don't believe that they work here.
Hope this helps a little.

Ah yes, I remember hanging out at my buddy's house playing around on the old

Rockford to play Legend of the Red Dragon.
Yes, we could teach them BBCodes.....or they could just join the proper
email list and be done with it. ;) (just poking fun)

playing Star Wars, Blue Max, Winter/Summer Games, Quest for Tires (if it

Most of the electric is done.
Wingtip bows are made.
Leading edges are made.
Almost done with metal fittings for wings.

Hello all you G.P's,
Did you ever think about how much faith is put into the lowly cotter pin? I
warn you, if you dwell on this subject too long you will begin to scare yo
urself. I remember a few years ago when I did a test run of my engine and I
had the airplane completely assembled (no cover) with all the castle nuts
just hand tight. After a few minutes of ground run almost every one of tho
se little suckers was on the ground, control cables hanging etc. What if ju
st one of the cotter pins failed on the bellcrank connections? I guess one
can console oneself a little, by thinking that most of those pesky little c
ritters can be inspected prior to each flight, but what about the ones you
can't look at??? I have scared myself sufficiently, as to contemplate fabr
icating a "hybrid" safety mechanism for those hidden bellcrank connections.
............ How about this idea? Take a nylon lock nut, drill a cotter pin
hole in it, so it can be threaded-on just short of being tight, and insert
ing a cotter pin. That way, you can have a nice warm, fuzzy, and secure fee
ling of having all those AN3 sized bolts double safetied.

Hello all you G.P's,
Did you ever think about how much faith is put into the lowly cotter pin? I
warn you, if you dwell on this subject too long you will begin to scare
yourself. I remember a few years ago when I did a test run of my engine and
I had the airplane completely assembled (no cover) with all the castle nuts
just hand tight. After a few minutes of ground run almost every one of
those little suckers was on the ground, control cables hanging etc. What if
just one of the cotter pins failed on the bellcrank connections? I guess one
can console oneself a little, by thinking that most of those pesky little
critters can be inspected prior to each flight, but what about the ones you
can't look at??? I have scared myself sufficiently, as to contemplate
fabricating a "hybrid" safety mechanism for those hidden bellcrank
connections............. How about this idea? Take a nylon lock nut, drill a
cotter pin hole in it, so it can be threaded-on just short of being tight,
and inserting a cotter pin. That way, you can have a nice warm, fuzzy, and
secure feeling of having all those AN3 sized bolts double safetied.

Today I disassembled my Stromberg NA-S3/B carb to verify the venturi and
jet were correct for my C-85. The venturi was correct and the jet appears to
a #49 jet reamed to a #45 which is correct. I too have a neoprene needle
that appears to be in great conditiond, but the seat is a sharp edged one for
the stainless needle.
Dave, If Matt doesn't want you seat, I sure could use it in my carb. If he
does, does anyone else have one they'd like to swap?

Matt, I found an official reference about the needles and seats.
46-04-02 CULVER: (Was Service Note 6 of AD-730-2.) Applies Only to Model LCA Having
Stromberg Model NA-S3A1 Carburetors Installed.
When inspecting or replacing carburetor float needle or needle seat, a check should
be made to assure that when a rubber tipped needle is used, a seat having
rounded edges is installed. Sharp-edged seats, when used with a rubber tipped
needle, will cause sticking and cutting of the rubber tip.
(This matter is also covered by Continental Service Bulletin No. M45-6 dated May
25, 1945, and Stromberg Aircraft Carburetor Service Bulletin No. 71.)

Subject: Visit to John McPherson
Today, fellow builder Mike Weaver & I had the very great pleasure to visit
local Piet builder John McPherson.
You haven't heard of John McPherson?
Well, that's because, believe it or not, John has no idea how to access the
Pietenpol List! Yet he continues to plod along...He started his project in
1995, and is almost ready to cover.
John's background is flight control engineering in the Airforce. You can see
some influence from his past in pictures 008 and 009. I especially liked how
he linked his rudder pedals in 008!
He has the hard wire technique mastered, and used that on his tail wires -
004.
All you builders interested in avoiding the cost of turnbuckles may be
interested in 016. John bought hard wire from ACS and threaded it
himself...my Hero for the Day!
John needs some help with his mags, pictured in 015. Does anyone have any
experience with these? Although Mike & I are Corvair guys, we happily
encourage anyone who wants to use an alternative engine, and I promised to
put the question to the List!
